On Thursday, July 10, at 3 p.m. Miss
Helen Koeneche, step daughter of August Rathman of Reedsburg,
became the bride of Armin A. H. Leschensky, son of the Rev. and
Mrs. Leschensky of Reedsburg, in St, John’s Evangelical
Lutheran church in that city. The Rev. Eugene Leschensky, pastor of
Redeemer Lutheran church at Racine and brother of the groom, gave
the wedding address, and the groom’s father performed the
double ring ceremony.

The bride marched down the aisle to the
strains of Lohengrin’s wedding march on the arm of her
father, who gave her away in marriage. She was attired in an ivory
white satin gown, with fitted bodice trimmed with lace, with long
sleeves pointed at the wrists, a full skirt falling into a long
train and fingertip veil. She carried a bouquet of gardenias and
white sweet peas, tied with white satin bows and streamers.

The bride chose as her maid of honor Miss
Laura Mae Meyer, R.N., of Milwaukee, a long time friend, who wore a
peach faile dress, with fitted bodice, full skirt and bustle back
with matching elbow mitts, a headdress of matching plumes and
velvet ribbons. Miss Laverne Koenecle of Reedsburg, a cousin of the
bride, and Miss Lorraine Leschensky of Milwaukee, a sister of the
groom, acted as bridesmaids. They wore gowns of French blue,
identical to that worn by Miss Meyer. All three attendants carried
bouquets of pink roses and pink sweet peas.

Miss Phyllis Prather of Reedsburg acted
as flower girl. She wore a white dress fashioned after the
bride’s and carried a bouquet of white carnations and sweet
peas. Master Robert Roloff was ring bearer and was attired in a
white0double breasted gabardine suit, with a bouttonniere.

The groom chose as his best man his
brother, Immanuel H. Leschensky, of Racine. E. LaVern Dahlby of
Loyal, a fellow school teacher, and Donald Farber of Reedsburg, a
friend, were his other attendants. All wore dark suits and white
boutonnieres.

Mrs. Herman Farber acted as proxy mother
of the bride and wore a black dress and matching accessories. Mrs.
Leschensky, mother of the groom, wore a powder blue dress with
black accessories. Both wore corsages of sweet peas and
snapdragons.

Mrs. Irene Henrichs of Prairie du Sac
sang "Because" and "The Lord’s Prayer," accompanied by Edward
Roever, organist. Following the ceremony, a reception was held for
the relatives and friends in the church parlors.

The bride was graduated from the
Reedsburg high school and also did some post-graduate work in high
school. The groom is a graduate of Wartburg college in Waverly,
Ia., where he received his B. A. degree. He spent almost 3 ½
years in the U. S. army during World War ll. and last years he
taught the commercial subjects in the Loyal high school.

Following the reception, Mr. and Mrs.
Leschensky left for a wedding trip to Yellowstone National park and
other points west. After July 20, they will be at home at 428 North
Locust street, Reedsburg.

To the newlyweds, The Loyal Tribune
extends its heartfelt congratulations and best wishes for the
future.
